San Antonio attorney Neil Calfas was arrested Wednesday after Texas Department of Public Safety investigators executed a search warrant at his downtown law office. The 56-year-old now faces charges of solicitation of prostitution and human trafficking, according to a DPS spokesperson.
The raid unfolded in the 100 block of Broadway near East Houston Street, where the Calfas Law Group operates. Agents with DPS’ Criminal Investigations Division arrived early in the morning. Boxes and files were seen being removed from the office as a DPS trooper kept watch outside during the raid. The scene was one of quiet, methodical work, with investigators moving in and out of the building.
A Bexar County judge signed the warrant before DPS arrived, two sources told KSAT. That detail suggests the operation had been in the works for some time. Still, DPS has not released specifics about the allegations or what investigators were searching for. A spokesperson said only that the investigation is ongoing.
The arrest marks a sudden fall for Calfas, who has practiced law in San Antonio. His firm, Calfas Law Group, is located in a busy part of downtown, near the intersection of Broadway and East Houston Street. The area is known for its mix of businesses, restaurants, and government buildings. Authorities have not said whether the charges are connected to Calfas’ work or to personal matters.
This is a developing story. DPS has promised no further comment for now, and authorities have not announced whether additional arrests are expected. As the investigation continues, more details are likely to emerge.
